The kernel I'm using is MICS (midnight ICS), I find it has less "tweaks" that do nothing like other kernels and uses the conservative governor which is the smoothest IMO. Give it a shot

Ok first download Team Hacksung CM9 B16(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593), flash that with CWM. Then just flash Slim ICS with CWM once you've got b16 installed, then flash essentials with CWM as well. No ODIN :). All done basically and then install MICS/Semaphore/Devil for a huge ram kernel.

Awesome cheers guys. Always found in past if I missed out smalls tep was a lot more painful.

The Midnight ICS kernal, does that just install again in CWM from sdcard on top of the eseentials and slim ICS? Like a speed improvement etc?

Have to say after using Darky's gingerbread rom this feels so much better. Getting used to the look of the application manager screen, kind of miss the old one. The rest is a lot better, feels a lot less bloated.

Also I plugged the usb into the computer and it let me connect as mass storage device just like old rom did no issues at all. I just had to slide the top bar down and hit the connect USB storage button.

yea i thought i saw that soon after flashing the rom...but when i went to use usb for pics....none

thort was a bit strange..wonder how i can get it bak...maybe i turned something off in settings etc

I've been rocking XXKI1 and very impressed with it's overall performance - especially with battery life. Unlike the i9000 modems which seem to stick to HSxPA connections when in 3g mode, the Nexus S variants auto switch back to UMTS when data isn't actively being used.

I've read they go down to Edge also but 2g doesn't work for me with 2degrees for some reason! I can only see vodafone when I've forced it into 2g mode.

On XDA, people have noticed voice quality increase as well, but I don't think I've noticed a difference. Essentially what happens is you download the Nexus S CWM file, extract radio.img and rename to modem.bin and put it in a i9000 cwm zip.

It's pretty funny, my i9000 is more Nexus S than i9000 as the build.prop has been changed too so that Viber works properly. The ol girl's got some legs thanks to the community, with ICS and kernels with lotsa ram.

tanivula: Has anyone else experimented with Nexus S modems on their i9000?
